Flyinfool Posted July 3, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Yep they're mighty proud of their gas out west in the summertime. In ATL $3.63 That is only $3.69 that he paid for gas. I only wish. Gas must be mush better quality here since it is $3.80. Out in Cali it is well over $4. But I think ol Puc was trying to point out how little gas hed had left when he found this station 4.43 gallons into his 5 gallon tank.

frankd Posted July 4, 2014 Share #8 Posted July 4, 2014 Puc, You had a lot of gas left.....1st Gens hold 5.3 gallons. I know this for a fact because I've run mine dry. Heck, a lot of times I've put 5 gallons in. On most of the 1st Gens. the reserve alarm comes on when you've used 3.9-4.0 gallons. That means you have over 50 miles left before you run out. Enjoy the rest of your trip!!!! Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low humidity, temps in the valleys of about 80 and in the mountains about 70 and visibility of 50 miles and crystal clear. My grandson and I rode over the mountain just shy of Asheville and he treated me to Chinese for lunch. We had a great day. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
